Court packing, at least 2 packing with two judges is justified. Mitch McConnell and...really Bush vs Gore has permanently weaponized the court. It is legal, and it is necessary.
However.....it carries extreme risks and would ultimately be futile. It would lead to a ritual whenever every each party is in power to pack to match the packing of the previous party. This would be an endless and incredibly destructive cycle. It does not save the Supreme Court. If I could add two judges and then not add two when the next two judges retire, and people would respect that, I would. But that wouldn't happen, it wouldn't be respected.
We need to structurally change the court, not superficially.
